#DontMakeMeThink
Usability used (get it?) to be my job, so I always enjoy working out the small details in my software and apps.

E.g. Mailove mail verification verdicts and a tooltip with explainers:

The Ethics of Frictionless UX: Inspired by a Thriller Novel

I’ve spent years advocating for seamless, intuitive, low-friction experiences. The kind that get praised in boardrooms. But should "frictionless" always be the goal?

how difficult is it to make unambiguous gender icons Westfield?

Are those arms?

Or a dress?

**Clickable means obvious.**

Every "Is this a button?" moment = lost trust. Make sure clickable elements are crystal clear. No second guesses, no frustrations.

I am at a Kansas City job fair.

If there were ever a golden opportunity for service design and process improvement, I know it not.

Intercepts, digital improvements, push notifications, digital registration, I mean, just a "now serving #" board would be a huge improvement!

Respectfully, as a user, if the docs aren't obvious and apparent to me on the first setup of your featured product offering, not only will I likely not read them (still can't see them) + likely will give up and abandon. Who are your #UX team? #dontmakemethink #rocketsciencemadeeasy

Tried @graze.social to make a UX-centric feed, even used the AI to crawl and aggregate.

The result was... Aggressively disappointing.

Es macht mir viel Freude, meine Erfahrungen (sprichwörtlich ⛷️ 😊) teilen zu dürfen. Danke für die Frage.

PS. Der Klammerschwung ist ein 'Notschwung'. Wenn er in Skilehrplänen als eigenständiges Ziel verkauft wird, das niemand versteht, sagt das auch viel über Skipädagogik aus.

TIL: Wenn Du auf der ORF NÖ Seite bei einer Meldung auf "Kontakt" klickst, kommst Du zum ORF Kontakt, nicht zum ORF NÖ Kontakt.
Kann man schon so machen ...
